I asked this question previously in an older, slightly unrelated thread but I'm thinking it might be more appropriate as its own thread.
I have a bundle (lets call it Bundle 1.0) with 3 MSIs (lets say A, B, and C; also all version 1.0). Some of the content in B and C has changed, so I produced an updated 1.0.1 MSI for B and C, and also a MSP for each. I then create Bundle 1.0.1 (a major update to Bundle 1.0 with all three updated MSIs) and BundlePatch 1.0.1 with just the patches for B and C. The behavior I would like to see would be for it not to matter if the user installs Bundle 1.0 followed by BundlePatch 1.0.1, or just Bundle 1.0.1 (i.e., new users can download and install the latest full version while current users only need the much smaller patch version). The closest I've been able to come to this is to give BundlePatch 1.0.1 a different UpgradeCode, and add in a RelatedBundle tag with Bundle's upgrade code and Patch as the action. This installs the two patches and leaves everything else the same, however, it doesn't update the version number in the Programs and Features control panel (we still see Bundle 1.0). In the Installed Updates control panel we do see BundlePatch 1.0.1 listed as an update. Most other things I have tried result in the patches getting installed, and then MSI A being uninstalled. Does anyone know if what I'm trying to do is even possible? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Chaining-MSPs-tp7591695.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
